Bug #4701
closedBaofeng GT-5TP not recognized

Description
Hi,
I bought a pair of Baofeng GT-5TP radios on fleabay
Both radios were recognized by chirp, downloaded configured and uploaded using the UV-82HP config.
One arrived with transmit audio issues, vendor replaced the radio body
New radio will not download to Chirp, tried UV-82HP and BF-F*HP no joy. Chirp returns a model not recognized issue
I have attached the debug log.
This looks wrong: [2017-04-04 12:38:47,750] chirp.drivers.uv5r - INFO: Radio Version is '\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff'
TYVM,

It is wrong. Your radio is not reporting its firmware version to CHIRP. Many Baofeng radio models have recently began shipping this way.
This unfortunate change has been reported multiple times. I recommend that you follow "this issue":http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/4445 where it is currently being addressed. You could also try the test driver that is available there (but I don't remember if it addresses the the addition of the UV-82 variants like you have - it initially started out as being limited to UV-5R variants). Also a patch has been submitted to work around this issue (and it does address the UV-82 variants like the GT-5TP).
